When you think of the Gobi Desert, people who don't know it tend to think
of a desert-like the Sahara Desert, which has no desolate grass, but there
are various types of actual Mongolian Gobi. "South Gobi" is a
Mongolian word meaning land with sparse short grass, which is an image
of a desert with no desolate vegetation, but in reality, it is only 25%
of the land area. Camel grazing is most common here. In addition, many
fossils of dinosaurs have been excavated in this area, which will arouse
the romance of ancient times. The Moltsog dunes, about 50km north of the
South Gobi airfield, offer a panoramic view of the Gobi desert image that
foreign people envision.
The Gobi Desert in southern Mongolia. Most of the desert is covered with
pebbles and shrubs, but if you run close to 200.q from South Gobi, you
will suddenly see a large sand dune. .. The height of this sand dune, which
continues like a mountain and looks up forever, is about 50 meters or more.
It is a rare terrain with sandy meadows, grass and short trees, and small
rivers. We often see camels trekking with tourists on board. This course
is to enjoy the moving scenery in this large sand dune, which is said to
be 1 in Mongolia. Of course, the gel where you can see the large sand dunes
of the accommodation. Staying in the wilderness, with no man-made objects
as far as the eye can see, makes you forget about your daily life. You
can feel the nature of Mongolia by taking a leisurely stroll through the
dunes and gazing at the starry sky at night.
Yoliin Am means "Valley of the Eagle" in Mongolian. Certainly,
an eagle is flying over the valley, and you can understand this place name.
The altitude of the valley is as high as 2200m, and snow remains around
here even in early summer. As expected, the valley is melted in midsummer
but without snow, and it feels cool and comfortable. On a hot summer day,
walking through the ice in the valley is interesting. There are also wild
sheep and goats, wolves, gobi bears, bald and wild donkeys.
There are many other attractions in Mongolia besides the prairie. Among
them, the cultural landscape area called Orkhon Valley has many
archaeological sites and historic sites, and the most famous is the
Karakorum archaeological site. When the Mongolian and Turkish nomads who had lived in Mongolia for a long
time founded the country, they chose the capital as the Orkhon River basin.
Genghis Khan has also ordered the establishment of the capital of the Mongol
Empire there. The city of Karakorum was built in 1235 by the order of Genghis
Khan and is famous for being temporarily the center of the world. Erdenezuu,
one of the world heritage sites in Mongolia, the ruins of Kharkhorin. Suddenly
appearing in the prairie, the ruins are a group of temples with a long
history in Mongolia, with a total of 108 high-impact white pagoda and outer
walls left surrounding the Buddhist temple. The "Karakorum History
Museum" was constructed by Kameishi, a joint project of the Mongolian
Cabinet and JICA, and Japanese ODA, which is a short walk from the ruins.
Burd (Elsen Tasarkhai Desert), located 280 km west of the city of Ulaanbaatar,
is the center of Mongolia. It is a wonderful place with a view of grasslands,
rocky mountains, streams, lakes and ponds. Bord, with its rich Mongolian
grasslands and a wide variety of flowers, is the gateway to tourism. Nomads
have long worshiped Mt. Khugnu Khan, located in the northern part of Burd,
but now it is protected as a "protected area" and there are rare
flora and fauna.
